Commissioner Bird asked if this action was staff -initiated in order to bring this property into conformance with the Land Use Pian, and Planner Shearer stated that it was. Commissioner Bowman asked where the existing grove is, and Planner Shearer explained that the.existing grove lies in the gray area immediately east of the solid black line. Village Green owns 50 acres up there - 40 to the west and 10 to the east with the 30 acre grove in between. Commissioner Bowman then inquired as to the location of the sewer plant, and Mr. Shearer stated that the percolation ponds are just east of the grove. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Attorney Sam Block came before the Board representing Mr. Frank Kahn, a resident of Village Green, who actually is concerned with the next scheduled public hearing, but he believed this hearing directly affects the next. Attorney Block expressed his disturbance at the order in which these hearings were scheduled, which is the same as at the Planning & Zoning Commission, as he believed when the next hearing comes up, the Planning Department will make use of the action taken at this hearing to prove their point re accessory use. He noted that at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, one Board member was upset that they were not informed that the next hearing related to the first. Attorney Block believed the public has always applauded the Commission's position on controlling density, and it amazed him that the Commission now is considering increasing density on 222 acres. Further, in regard to the existing uses, Attorney Block did not agree they are conforming as there are active groves there and Agricultural zoning. Planning Director Keating clarified that there is no recom- mendation to change zoning on the active groves, just to change the Land Use designation so it fits the actual usage, but Chairman Lyons did not see why the grove has to be included. 33 MAY 1 1985 BOOK 60 FADE 749
